Layman's Creed

This is my bible, the sword of God. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My sword, without me, is useless. Without my sword, I am useless.
I must wield my sword with truth. I must use it to enforce the defeat of the enemy of my soul. It will be wielded accurately and deliberately, because it is sharp and slices to the heart of the matters that concerns me. My enemy who is trying to kill me will be pierced with the truth contained within, rendering his onslaught against me unfruitful. IT WILL BE DONE...

My sword and I know that what counts in this battle is damage dealt to the enemy. Not the circumstances encountered, the pain suffered, the trials and tribulations we face, nor the storms that life brings. We know that it is the truth spoken that counts. WE WILL BE VICTORIOUS...

My bible is the living, breathing word of Almighty God. Thus I will learn it as no other text in my life because its truths will set me free. It will bring revelation to me when it is meditated upon day and night. It will become part of my life. I will learn every commandment, statute and laws that are contained within its covers and then it will make my way prosperous. I will ever guard it against the lies and deceptions of the enemy, and it will keep my heart, soul and body pure. We will become part of each other. WE WILL...

Before God, I declare this creed. My bible and I are the defenders of truth. We are the masters of our enemy. Jesus is the savior of my life.

So be it, until Jesus comes again and there is no enemy, but peace!
